Pondside Porch House

ChrisRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I’m tempted to write a bad review so more dates will be available when I’m ready to come back. This was our 2nd visit and it was great again. So much to do without leaving the house. Fishing, kayaking, volleyball, badminton, ping pong, foosball, fire pit, board games, etc. Great price too! The only problem this time was that the WiFi was a bit spotty, even after a couple resets. Probably for the best though! Looking forward to our next visit soon hopefully.

A Great Riverbend Escape

CarolynRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Always a 5-star place to stay. We have family in Franklin and always want this house and are very disappointed if it is already taken. Quiet, peaceful location. Easy to get to. It's always neat and clean, decorated so beautifully. Plenty of amenities. We've stayed in other houses (when we couldn't get this one) and the host only provided 1 dishwasher pod, 1 laundry pod, 1 trash bag, etc. - certainly not enough for a weekend. Cherisse is always available and helpful. A perfect host.

NC Mountain House | Mountain Views, Hot Tub & EV

KarinaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb with our family of 10, ranging from a baby to grandparents. The house was meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The layout was perfect, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still having great common areas for gathering. Every room was beautifully designed, so no one felt like they got the “lesser” room. The views were absolutely incredible, and we loved the added amenities—board games, foosball, a jacuzzi, and a grill. The host was fantastic—super responsive, helpful with local recommendations, and proactive in keeping us informed about a nearby fire. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this home for any group looking for a relaxing and well-equipped retreat!

2 Adjoining Homes - Walk to Downtown & Main St!

BrittanyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a phenomenal stay in Helen, thanks to our wonderful host and excellent accommodations. After our drive to Helen, GA, we didn’t have to get back in the car once — the location was incredibly pedestrian-friendly. The house is situated on a hill, offering a private and quiet experience. It felt tucked away from the town yet was just a short walk down to everything Helen has to offer. Access to the river and nearby hiking trailheads was also a breeze. 10/10 would recommend — we hope to be back next year

Pet friendly cabin in the trees - Blue Ridge

AnnaleaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I absolutely loved my stay here. The drive is definitely hilly but the road is paved, so no problems there. The house was clean and cozy and the beds comfortable. My favorite part was relaxing on the screened porch while the rain gently fell and I could hear all the toads from the nearby pond. There’s some close-by neighbors but the trees afford privacy and the elevation made us feel well above everything. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit one night while we roasted hot dogs and smores and star gazed. The best part of course is the fenced yard. My dog Darla had so much more space to chase the ball than our yard in the burbs and my older dog Gus loved patrolling the perimeter, spying on squirrels and wood peckers. We will absolutely come here again the next time we need a break from the city.

Mountain Laurel Cabin, Pond, Folk School Dish Wifi

MaxRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The cabin has a cozy feeling and is located nice and secluded at the end of a neighborhood, with plenty of privacy. Due to the weather we did not get to enjoy the outside but the bonfire looks like a great place to sit outside with family or friends. When booking, we didn’t realize the upstairs bedroom does not have a door, although this did not bother us because it was just my wife and I. We would go definitely come back here. Host was friendly and easy to communicate with.

Dog-friendly cabin w/ views, HOT TUB, game room

JefferyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We planned a last-minute family rafting trip and stumbled upon this place—and wow, what a great find! The cabin was incredibly clean and inviting from the moment we arrived. The game room and hot tub were big hits with everyone, and the beds were super comfortable. Outside, there were plenty of great spots to relax, including two swinging chairs, some lawn chairs by the firepit, and two cozy hanging chairs. Everything about the stay exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this place—we’d come back in a heartbeat!

My family had a wonderful stay at Catherine’s cabin. The location is great, in the middle of lots to do - hiking, ropes course, zip lining, restaurants, Georgia Mountain Coaster, and an awesome Pokemon card store. The pictures do not do the views justice. It’s a beautiful, peaceful spot with everything you need and more.

Beardsicle Bluff

JaleahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our second time staying at Kerri and Steven’s place! The last time was me and my partner’s anniversary in 2023, and they decorated for us and left us treats. This time we were just going for a little staycation, and it was perfect of course. The bed is extremely comfortable and huge! We like that the TV can basically be seen from anywhere in the living room too! we sat out on the deck when the UV was high and got some sun with a view! So nice :)) Thankyou for hosting us again!

We felt completely relaxed during our stay, it was exactly the peaceful getaway we needed. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a highlight, especially at night under the stars. The remote location made it feel private and calm, perfect for unwinding. Check-in was super easy, and Beth was very friendly and communicative throughout. We’d absolutely stay here again!

This was my birthday get away and I loved the privacy. It was just like I had been it on social media.The most exciting art was they had birthday surprise awaiting my arrival per girlfriends request.We were a little scared as night fell because we were two women but I brought plenty of protection.The second night were more comfortable lol.The host was expecting and quick to answer any questions we had. It was nicely decorated. I had been wanting to come here for a minute.I did feel like it was kind of pricey for a non holiday and during the week stay.Ihave already recommended it to several people. Thanks for an wonderful experience.

Your guide to Murphy

All About Murphy

Located in the Appalachian Mountains, in the southwestern corner of North Carolina, the small town of Murphy is surrounded by three national parks in three different states and sits at the junction of the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers. Due to its strategic location, Murphy is a historic town with deep native heritage, with many of its sites mentioned in Cherokee culture and mythology.

Apart from its profound history, western North Carolina’s lush forest landscapes are one of the main attractions in Murphy. More than 500,000 acres of land and Appalachian Mountain range cover the Nantahala National Forest near Murphy, making it the largest national forest in the state. A variety of oak and sycamore trees, and dozens of less common species create a natural canopy over the forest, where the sunlight only pokes through briefly in the middle of the day.

Locally, visitors can take in the historic buildings in the town’s center, or even wander through downtown to the small shops selling handmade crafts, antique decor, clothing, and more. Each store is housed in one of the town’s old, original brick buildings.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Murphy

You can expect overcast skies and occasional rainfall throughout the year in this town surrounded by nature. During the summer, warm, humid weather settles in. Despite a bit of humidity, a sunny summer day is one of the best times to explore the Appalachian Mountains at the Nantahala National Forest. Fall and spring, in contrast, are cool and comfortable. Visitors can wander downtown to the shops set in historic buildings with seasonal wildflowers out front or head out on one of the many hiking trails nearby.

Winter is a short season, but it’s cold and usually the rainiest time of year. Despite the colder, wetter weather, hiking the Piney Knob Trail System in winter is a great way to see flowing streams and cascading waterfalls. The newly paved roads permit easy access, and once all is done, visitors can head back downtown to warm up at the various restaurants adorned in holiday lights during this time of year.


Top things to do in Murphy

Murphy River Walk

The four-mile Murphy River Walk near the town center is a great place to hike, and also bike-friendly. The trail begins at Konehete Park and runs alongside the Valley and Hiwassee Rivers with small, overwater footbridges running over them. Large, bushy trees hang over the sides of the trail, giving some coverage as you walk or bike. The Murphy River Walk ends at downtown Murphy, where you can sit down at a restaurant or shop local after your journey.

Cherokee Historical Museum

The Cherokee Historical Museum details the life of a Native American Cherokee in Murphy during the 1830s. Visitors to the museum are greeted by a soapstone carved into the shape of a sea turtle, which pertains to just one of the many Cherokee legends that can be read about during the trip here. Inside the museum walls is a collection of more than 2,000 relics and dozens of art exhibits that help portray the Cherokee culture and tell the story of their past in western North Carolina.

Nantahala National Forest

The Nantahala National Forest is home to more than half a million acres of forest landscape in western North Carolina. Visitors can choose from trailheads of varying difficulty, with the most difficult trek reaching the highest point in the forest at nearly 6,000 feet. One of the park’s highlights is its waterfalls. You can take the half-mile hike to the 75-foot Dry Falls, where the water cascades over a bluff into the river, allowing you to walk under the falls while keeping dry.
